Presenilins, Notch dose control the fate of pancreatic endocrine progenitors during a narrow developmental window (2009)

Cras-Méneur, Corentin, Li, Lin, Kopan, Raphael, Permutt, M. Alan

Canonical Notch signaling is thought to control the endocrine/exocrine decision in early pancreatic progenitors. Later, RBP-Jκ interacts with Ptf1a and E12 to promote acinar differentiation. To...

The Effects of Fasting and Feeding on Preproinsulin Messenger RNA in Rats

Giddings, Stephen J., Chirgwin, John, Permutt, M. Alan

The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether alterations in preproinsulin messenger (m)RNA activity could account for changes in insulin biosynthesis during fasting and refeeding. Rats...
